In what order do I watch Haruhi?
It doesn't really matter. I watched it as it was released (s1 => s2 => movie) and had fun.

Chronological order interlacing S2 with S1.

This.
Don't fall for /a/ meme telling you to watch in broadcast order. It doesn't even make sense.

Nope. I first saw it in broadcast order. Saw it in chronological order only on my second watch (with S2). And I have to admit it is very interesting to see it in broadcast order. Plus the final makes more sense in broadcast order. You may get lost at some point but not that much. The episodes are built so you understand anyway.
Broadcast order.
First season 1 in broadcast order, then season 2.
If you want to, you can wait for a while before you watch season 2 and watch everything in chronological order, that gives the experience most true to the original, but doesn't matter, season 2 can be watched pure, without season 1 mixed in.
Many will tell you to skip a certain arc of season 2, but don't, it's very important, and probably one of the greatest artistic masterpieces in anime of all time. It is an experience every anime fan should get.
And when they tell you to skip stuff, they tell you to only watch some of the episodes, but the episodes they tell you to watch aren't even the best ones. You should watch EVERY episode of Haruhi, don't listen to people telling you to skip stuff.

That sure was ballsy, but you need to be an advanced KyoAni fag (lord knows i'm one) to apreciate it. "a masterpiece" is quite disputed.
Appart from that, I agree with this anon, I would recommend to watch it all too.

here's the chronological order (however recommend to watch the 1 ep before anything)
(S1) 2,3,5,10,13,14,4) - S2 (1) - S1 (7,6,8) - S2 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14) -> S1 (1,12,11,9) + The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya + (-maybe-) The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan (spin-off) + Haruhi-chan (ONA)
i have watched it both ways and i recommend the regular non-chronological order S1+S2+Movie (despise some irregularities it was more enjoyable in my opinion since the chronological is a complete mess).
Broadcast, it is the intended way.

>In 2006 the series aired in an jumbled order which was quite well received and in 2009 the season 2 aired with the episodes of the first season in the correct chronological order.

Broadcast cast order makes most sense for the first watch.
